Chapters:

Dominic stood in the energy center conducting tests on the
earlier "power failure." He knew it wasn't true. They had
extensive backup generators and their own power backup if all
their generators failed. Which was very unlikely. He ran scans on
the reactor controls. When they completed and displayed on the
screen, he was dumbfounded. The reactors computer control system
had been hacked. The hacker had reconfigured the computer to not
use the power from the generators or their power supply. But to
use a supply of his own. With no doubt not much more power than
was necesarry for him to escape and get away from the reactor. He
had to get a name or something concrete to give to the police.
Keith popped into his brain: the way his sandy blonde hair framed
his face and the way his shirt clung to his chest. Dominic jerked
himself out of the daze and reminded himself that he had to look
for the saboteur. Also he was in an energy laboratory with many
buttons and switches, his mind could not wander. One wrong button
push could be catastrophic. But Keith's memory persisted until
they were kissing and back in the lab like they were three hours
ago. He wondered where Keith was now. Turning to the clock he saw
it was nine. "Holy crap way past quitting time. " He shut down
his workstation and made a note to search more tomorrow. Walking
down the corridor he retrieved his coat, car keys, and other
personal things he needed from his locker and exited the
building. Dominic got into his blue sedan and started the engine.
Pulling out his phone he looked at it and willed Keith to call.
When his phone vibrated his spirits lifted and he looked at the
display. A new text was displayed with the words, "You shouldn't
have done that." The number was blocked and Dominic was scared.
He quickly closed the message and dialed the non-emergency line
for the NYPD.

"NYPD how can I help you," said an operator with disinterest.

"Hello I just received a possible threatening text message and I
was wondering if there is a way you could trace it?"

"Well we can."

"Great would you like me to bring my phone in?"

"Sir we are swamped now can you wait until the morning please,"
asked the operator with disregard.

"Um. I suppose. Oh by the way you wouldn't by any chance know
where Lieutenant Richards is now?"

"I do not. Also I cannot give out information about our
officers."

"Ok well thank you anyways. Good bye." After disconnecting he
stared down at his phone. But he broke the spell of it and drove
home. He would dream of Keith that night.
